Bathroom prepping before painting.

This is what happens when your bathroom isn't properly prepped and painted. Priming and caulking would have prevented this and saved the homeowner money when they hired Jcb Painting to fix it. 
The original paint job had a really bad caulking job around the vanity and along the baseboard which Jcb Painting had to completely remove and redo. Where the other painter should have absolutely caulked was around the shower enclosure as you can see from the images. 
This bathroom will be finished next Tuesday. Stay tuned.

We see this type of bathroom paint failure quite often. We will be doing mold remediation also.

Mold removal and painting in North Attleboro, MA.

mold growing on a ceiling in a bathroom in North Attleboro, MA.
This is what happens when you don't use the ceiling exhaust fan in
your bathroom. You get mold. And it just keeps getting worse.
Then when it has to be painted you have to pay more money
and time to get the job done, even if you do it yourself.

Jcb Painting works on a lot of Bathrooms and very often
when we come to look at the paint job, mold is an issue because
the exhaust ceiling fan is hardly used or not at all. Before using the shower the ceiling fan should be turned on and kept on for at least 15 minutes after to exhaust the moisture from the air. So the lesson here is, use your bathroom fan. It's there for a purpose.

After wallpaper border removal

after wallpaper border removal and after finish painting.
This is the room after the wallpaper border was removed in North Attleborough, MA.
It took a lot longer to finish than expected but Jcb Painting prevailed. The walls below the border
were also in rough shape, but after a lot of patching and sanding they came out
beautiful. The hardwood floor will be refinished also.

Wall paper border removal.

Wall paper removal in North Attleboro, MA.
Not all wall paper is the same when it comes to removal. Usually the top layer is the most difficult and the backing is the easiest to remove after wetting it down.

But on this job it was the opposite. The backing was extremely difficult to remove. The original installer must have used a lot more paste than was necessary to apply this wall paper border.

After removal of wall paper, Jcb Painting, machine sanded to remove all left over bits of paper and glue, patched and sanded again and then primed and painted. It's tough to price this kind of job. You never know what to expect.
No two wall paper borders are the same when it comes time to remove for painting. It's a lot of physical work plus a lot of clean up. One of the hardest things to do when painting a room.

Home office painting.

home office painting

Here is  a scenario Jcb Painting comes  upon these days  when contracted to paint a home office. Before we can begin painting the space we first have to move furniture. Then there is the input and output peripherals attached to the computers and other electronics.

This  can be a delicate procedure. In order to paint the area most of the connections  have to be disconnected and then reconnected after the painting is  finished. Jcb Painting has a  lot of experience doing this.

First we take closeup pictures of all the inputs and outputs  before disconnecting for reference, so when we reconnect all peripherals, everything works as it did before we got there.

On this paint job we have 2 computers, 2 monitors, 1 printer, TVspeakers, sound bar, woofer, cables, extension cords, router, and many wires to be moved.

As we start to disconnect we clean all dust off of wires and cables, then move everything out of the way to paint. Then vacuum and prep the area to be painted.

After the painting is donewe reconnect all electronics. 
No need for the geek squad here.

This is another painting service that Jcb Painting provides to its customers.
